a.

b.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

a.

b.

Step by step solution

01

Chain-growth polymerization

The monomer molecules are added together to create a long chain in chain-growth polymerization. Alkenes and alkadienes are the derivatives used for this particular process.

02

Structure of polymer formed by chain-growth polymerization

a. The skeletal structure of the monomer is:

Skeletal structure of compound a

The polymer formed by chain-growth polymerization of the monomer is:

Polymerization of Methyl-2-cyanoacrylate

b. The skeletal structure of the monomer is:

Skeletal structure of monomer

The polymer formed by the chain-growth polymerization of the monomer is:

Polymer of 2,2-Dimethyloxirane

Most popular questions from this chapter

Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction as shown in Mechanism 30.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecular H abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups as branches.


a. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates which H must be intramolecularly abstracted to form butyl substituents.

b. Suggest a reason why the abstraction of this H is more facile than the abstraction of other H’s.
